We also enjoyed chatting with Darian's wife Trudy and playing with their three wonderful kids . . .

On the way to the airport, we spent a couple of very enjoyable hours at the Mt. Coot-tha Botanical Gardens and ate lunch there. The gardens were beautiful, and the bonsai collection was especially impressive.

We arrived in Sydney in the afternoon and caught a couple of trains to my aunt (Mum's sister) and uncle's house, where we had dinner.We stayed the night with friends of Dave's, who would soon become "our" friends! That is one of may excellent things about marriage . . . friends multiply!

"The Deeps"

Plough deep in me great Lord, heavenly husbandman,that my being may be a tilled field,the roots of grace spreading far and wide,until thou alone art seen in me,thy beauty golden like summer harvest,thy fruitfulness and autumn plenty.
